Mathematician Carlos Castillo-Chavez says that pi is so important to math that using its simple, geometric definition denies its greater powers. "[Pi] brings you into the world of mathematics, which ...

Mathematical constants are built from the fabric of mathematics and can be determined a priori: Pi is based on the shape of a circle and can be calculated from numerous equations, e is from the growth ...

Most famous equation: Einstein's E = mc2, which means energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. Known digits of pi: More than 105 trillion digits Digits of pi NASA uses for equations: ...

You’re likely familiar with Pi Day, perhaps the most popular of geeky holidays. Hooray. But I’m here to tell you that Pi Day is wrong — or rather, the entire idea of pi as a mathematical concept is ...

Mathematical equations aren't just useful — many are quite beautiful. And many scientists admit they are often fond of particular formulas not just for their function, but for their form, and the ...
